The US-led international coalition downed a Su-22M4 fighter jet functioning in favor of the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) near Rusafa town in southwestern Raqqa countryside.
Syrian aircraft was carrying out an air raid on positions held by the so-called “Daesh” when the airbase lost contact with the pilot, about an hour ago.
At first, technical failure was thought to be the reason for the aircraft crash.
However, some 20 minutes ago, Syrian Ministry of Defense affirmed that it was the coalition air force that had brought the SyAAF warplane down.
